Synopsis: Rani, a suburban clerk, is waiting for his wife in a small, well-gardened shopping center when he notices what seems like a dead man hanging as part of a large advertising sign. Nobody around him seems to mind, including his wife.

A surreal look at issues of public responsibility and the increasingly perplexing nature of the value of human life in the public sphere - issues that have come to the foreground during the past few years, especially in Israel.
